Aerial Dive is a technique that appears in Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix and Kingdom Hearts III. It allows the user to unleash a powerful attack on distant targets.
Mechanics[edit]
In Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix, Aerial Dive is an action ability that costs 2 AP to equip. When equipped, it allows Sora to close in on a distant aerial target by leaping at them in a series of four somersaults with the Keyblade extended, alternating between a tilt to the left or right. The fourth somersault can be skipped with the following attack in the combo. Sora's High Jump level determines his level of vertical reach on a target that is above him.
In Kingdom Hearts III, Aerial Dive is an action ability that costs 2 AP to equip. When equipped, while airborne Sora is able to assault enemies below him with a wild spinning attack that can hit a maximum of four times. Although this attack can only travel a moderate distance downwards while tracking a target, it is superlative at closing the gap for targets that are far from Sora laterally or horizontally.
